Abstract
South Africa is in the 27th year of the post-apartheid era. However, it finds itself in another sphere of inequality called the digital divide. All its battles are because of the 1948 colonialism producing the poorest by-product communities which comprise 32.2% of the national population. These communities are challenged by poor education, infrastructure, and public services, job scarcity and a high poverty rate, leading to " the rich shall become richer, and the poor remain poorer. " This paper aims to show how education can resolve such phenomena in these communities. The results show a disproportion between IT and education, such that people face access to ICT infrastructure and education, which affects their cost of living in this digital era.
